Adelaide record breaker - $525,000 Fastnet Rock colt from Small Minds.

Bred and consigned for sale by Goldin Farms, the stunning bay colt was bought by Tony Fung Investments/Annabel Neasham Racing.

A full brother to this season’s stakes-winning juvenile filly Sneaky Five and half-brother to stakes-winner Beautiful Mind, the colt would not have been out of place at any major eastern states sale and is the fifth living foal of Canny Lad’s Group I SAJC Schweppes Oaks winner Small Minds.


Goldin Farms purchased Small Minds from the Magic Millions Patinack Farm Dispersal in 2014 for $440,000 and she is now in foal to Yulong’s promising young sire Grunt after missing the previous season to Artie Schiller (USA).

The Goldin Farms team celebrate after their sale ring success!

The star colt’s  $525,000 purchase price easily bettered the previous best at this sale of $340,000 setting the tone for what looks like another super successful yearling sale following on from what we’ve seen at so many other venues this year.
